The fire trucks of Station 19 will keep rolling in the 2022-23 television season. ABC has renewed the first-responder drama series for a sixth year. Yesterday, the alphabet network renewed sister series Grey’s Anatomy for a 19th year.

The Station 19 TV show stars Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Boris Kodjoe, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre, Stefania Spampinato, and Carlos Miranda. The TV series centers on the heroic firefighters at Seattle Fire Station 19. From the captain to the newest recruit, they risk their lives and hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. The brave men and women are like family and together, they put their own lives in jeopardy as first responders to save the lives of others.

The fifth season of Station 19 averages a 0.63 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.56 million viewers (which includes same-day viewing and DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season four, that’s down by 25% in the demo and down by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings. In the live+7 day ratings, the fifth season averages a 0.94 demo with 6.27 million. That’s an average increase of 50% and 38%, respectively, compared to the same-day ratings.

Here’s the sixth season renewal announcement from ABC:
